Your Ancestors Left You Wisdom - What Will You Leave Them?

Your Ancestors Left You Wisdom - What Will You Leave Them?

December carries a different kind of quiet - the kind that makes you reach back into your lineage and whisper:

“Tell me who I come from.”

In Cherokee culture, winter is the season to visit elders, listen to their stories, gather teachings, and weave family wisdom into memory.

Women in midlife stand in this same doorway: the bridge between what was and what will be.

What Did Your Elders Teach You?

Ask Yourself:

· Who shaped my values?

· Whose humor, faith, or resilience still lives in me?

· What story changed the trajectory of my life?

Your ancestors left you a roadmap. Now you are the one carrying the torch.

“Legacy isn’t just passed down - it’s carried forward.”

The Pain of Stories Lost Too Soon

Women often tell me: “I wish I had written down Mama’s stories.” “I wish I’d asked my grandmother more questions.” “I wish someone had kept our traditions alive.”

This ache is real. It’s universal. And it’s avoidable.

This is why HER Life Legacy™ exists — to save the wisdom before it disappears.

How Cherokee Heritage Shapes My Legacy Work

I grew up watching elders share:

· memory

· humor

· teachings

· warnings

· blessings

· rituals

Nothing was wasted. Everything mattered.

That same reverence lives inside my program. Legacy is not about perfection — it’s about preservation.

December Reflection Prompt

What wisdom from my ancestors still guides me today - and how will I pass it on?

LEGACY MOMENT

Your ancestors didn’t survive for the story to end with you. They survived so the story could continue through you.

And I’m here to help you record it.
